Poker Strategy - Positioning

When you play Texas Hold'em, it's very important to know the strategy of positioning. In the poker game, the position of the dealer gains more benefit because the dealer can see who is still in the hand. The dealer position also gains more advantages on knowing how the players feel about their hands As you already knew, Texas Hold'em is played in a clockwise and this cause the players to the right of the dealer gain less information. The players to the right of the dealer will get less advantage due to the lack of information to make a good decision. The other players will raise the bet of the early betting position. If you can get the dealer position, which you will have multiple callers and good starting hand, then you can put a minimum bet. This will make the other players call. You will end up increasing the pot size of the game If you truly understand how to play with the "blind" position then you have more chance to win the game. If you are in "blind" position or "early" position then you have no feedback from other poker players. In the blind position, raise, call, fish or take any chance only if you have good starting cards Don't let the temptation of the high stakes make you gamble when you don't really have a good hand. This is not the way to win the game. You may have an idea that you have half of the ante in the pot and the blind stakes are high, even then don't gamble with that risk. Therefore you have to say no to this temptation and save your chips until you have a good hand and need to use the chips. A good player knows that to win the poker game he needs a good plan and a good poker strategy. A good poker player doesn't rely on luck or chance. One of the poker positioning strategies is the art of "bluffing". You can use a bluffing technique to bluff one player easier than bluffing all the other players. This is why positioning for bluffing in a poker game is one of a critical poker factors. The reason why the blind position is the best poker position to bluff is there will be no cards on the table. This makes your opponents, who may have really good cards, have no idea if you have good cards too. Anyway when you are bluffing you should know that if you get more than one caller, then there's a chance that one of the callers is having a good hand. In this case, you should fold. Don't playing on your ego.
